444 REVISIONAL NOTKS ON AUSTRALIAN CAKABID^, 



sciitellar stride short., feebly indicated by two or three punctures, 

 seventh stria strongly impressed; interstices flat, third minutely 

 2-punctate; humeral angles minutely dentate. 



Black; sides of prothorax (widely near base) and reflexed 

 border mandibles, and labrum piceous-red; legs and three basal 

 joints of antennse ferruginous; antennae fuscous after third joint. 

 Lengtii 5-2, breadth 2'2 mm. 



Hah. — Q. : Kuranda(Sloane). 



The smallest Australian species. It differs decidedly from 

 A. australasue Chaud., by much smaller size; more parallel and 

 less convex form; prothorax with basal foveoe; elyura more finely 

 striate, the strife much more finely crenulate, interstices not the 

 least convex. From A. lilliputana Mac!., it differs by colour not 

 bronzy; scutellar striole not "three times the length of scntellum," 

 etc. Its place in tlie genus is apparently beside^, indica Chaud., 

 (unknown to me in nature) with the description of which it agrees 

 by the form of the basal fovese of the prothorax, the eighth inter- 

 stice of the elytra not narrower than the seventh, nor narrowed 

 to the base, colour, etc.; but it is smaller. Under a lens of high 

 power, it is seen that the derm of the head, prothorax, and elytra 

 is minutely punctulate. Two specimens occurred to me, washed 

 from the banks of a pool in a creek, near Kuranda, in June, 



1906. 



Anatrichis sexstriata Sloane. 



My localities for this .species are Vic: Moonbulk (D. A. C, 



McGill)— N.S.W.: Mulwala and Grenfell (Sloane), Wyong (H. 



Cox).

 marked(subdentiform). Colour black. 

 A. Metepisterna elongate, bordered and strongly suleate along anterior
